Now, griping about griping about griping.... THAT gets us back into "just as
bad" territory again.
Shame on you!

Subject: Re: [MD] re, fellow european-Bodvar
Platt and Arlo, Hey guys.
[Platt]
There's lots of that sort of parasitic twaddle going on here rather than
what Pirsig hoped for from this site, namely, Dynamic creative philosophy
(such as
Bo exemplifies) instead of the "mind-numbing scholarly precision" of
academic philosophers.
[Arlo]
Bo exemplifies consistency in his determination to promote his own
interpretation of the MOQ, which is fine and commendable.
John:
Is "consistency in determination" the same as "Dynamic creative philosophy"
? Because honestly? They seem sort of opposite of each other to my
understanding.
Arlo:
I don't know "what Pirsig hoped for", but again since those he chooses to
interact directly with are your "evil academics", I'd have to say it
would
seem as if Pirsig endorses more the work being done by the likes of Ant
and
DMB then the sophomoric, anti-intellectual "random thoughts" others post
here.
I dunno either Arlo, but if I was making my best guess, I'd say Platt's
idea
of the matter is far closer than yours.
But me, I always get uncomfortable with anybody criticizing what goes on
here. Platt or Arlo. What happens, happens. If you want better dialogue,
make some. Griping about the lousy dialogue doesn't really seem that
pragmatically useful to me.
John in search of pragmatic usefulness.
